Definitions
- the present invention is related to a combustion engine having two sets of mutually connected piston. Said combustion engine can be combined with a steam engine comprising cylinders for combustion and steam.
- the combustion engine may be a two-stroke or four-stroke engine with optional type of fuel.
- a further efficiency increase is obtained by utilization of the large amounts of heat from the combustion process of the combustion engine for operation of a steam engine connected to the combustion engine.
- the combustion engine comprises combustion cylinders 1, 2, 3 and 4 where opposed pistons of combustion cylinders 1 and 3 are connected with a common piston rod 5 and pistons of the opposed combustion cylinders 2 and 4 are connected with a common piston rod 6.
- the piston rods 5 and 6 are connected with a balance arm 7 which coordinate the movements of the piston rods.
- One end of the balance arm 7 is connected to a balance wheel (not disclosed in the drawing).
- Each combustion cylinder 1, 2, 3 and 4 comprises a cooling jacket 9.
- the combustion cylinders 1, 2, 3 and 4 each comprises a valve 10 for fuel, a valve 24 for air inlet to the combustion cylinders and a valve 11 for exhaust gas.
- a steam engine may be connected to the combustion engine.
- Each cooling jacket 9 thereby being connected with a heat exchanger 12 where the heated cooling water is further heated by the exhaust gas from the exhaust gas valve 11 until the cooling water is in the state of super heated steam. Cooled exhaust gas thereafter is released to the atmosphere or to other possible use.
- the steam is transferred to a steam cylinder 14 in the steam engine through a pipe line 13.
- the pistons of the steam cylinders 14 and 15 are connected with a common piston rod 19 and the pistons of the steam cylinders 16 and 17 are correspondingly connected with a common piston rod 20. Said piston rods 19 and 20 are connected with a balance arm 18. The rocking movements of the balance arms 7 and 18 are coordinated by a connection 21. Upon executed work in the steam cylinder 14 steam/condensate is returned to the cooling jacket 9 as cooled condensate.
- the combustion cylinder 1 is disclosed at the end of a working stroke.
- the heated cooling water in the cooling jacket 9 is conducted to the heat exchanger 12 through the pipe line 13 and further to the steam cylinder 14.
- the exhaust gas is flushed out of by air from the air inlet 24 and through a valve to the heat exchanger 12 for heating and vaporization of the cooling water. Thereafter fuel is guided through the valve 10 for compressing and combustion.
- the combustion cylinder with the piston connected with the piston rod 5 and the steam cylinder 15 work oppositely of the combustion cylinder 1 and the steam cylinder
- combustion cylinder 4 and the steam cylinder 17 work together with the combustion cylinder 1 and the steam cylinder 17 by the heat exchanger 12 and the temperature regulator 23.
- the combustion cylinder 2 and the steam cylinder 16 work oppositely of the combustion cylinder 1 and the steam cylinder 14.
- the combustion cylinder 2 of the combustion engine is connected with the steam cylinder 16
- the combustion cylinder 3 is connected with the steam cylinder 15
- the combustion cylinder 4 is connected with the steam cylinder 17.
- pipe lines correspond with the pipe lines 13, 22 and temperature regulators corresponding with the temperature regulator 23 being connecting the cylinders.
- connection of the balance arms 7 to the piston rods 5 and 6 and connection of the balance 18 to the piston rods 19 and 20 in relation to the turning point of the connection 21 as well as the distance to the turning point of the balance wheel arm 8 of the balance arm 7 is optimized as regards to achieving as large moment of force as possible.
- output of the steam engine in relation to the heat development of the combustion engine is optimized thereby to achieve optimal efficiency.
